i think id buy one.
its like a laptop but more cheaper right ?
so i guess if i was on a budget and wanted a laptop id get that.

Apparantly apple products aren't that cheap. The lowest price u can get with wifi+3g is $629 including 16gb of hard drive. A netbook cost half as less and can store a lot more with at least 100 gb of space to help yourself. If you're looking for a thin and lightweight netbook/video viewer with no flash this is the best bet u can find.

Give it flash, java, multitasking, and buy the dock/keyboard, and it's the only computer most people would need. And I'm being serious, maybe not the iPad, but I think things like this might replace the typical desktop for your casual user.

For me, it would make a good toy if I didn't get an iPod Touch less than half a year ago for 3/5 the price >_<. I want something like it to use instead of my laptop when I'm casually laying on the couch, but the iPad is too limiting. I'd have ordered one if it has a full version of OS X on it.

It's supposed to be competing with kindle and the electronic book - but then they add all those games, iTunes, internet, and apps and it's just like 'Whut?' Who the hell is going to carry that around with them everyday in their bag? ..the iPhone has already taken over my life, I don't need a freaking mega-sized one <_<

Apple used to lead the way with new, better and cooler products, but this thing is to big to be carried day to day. Supposedly it is the "Kindle Killer"?? They got some good drugs going around the office at Apple if they think a bigger screen means everything. When I bought my e-reader I went with a smaller size because it fits in one hand while I read it and when I'm going somewhere the whole thing drops in my coat pocket. (I got a Sony PRS-300. With the protective cover it measures 6 7/16th by 4 9/16th inches) That thing is WAY to big to go into a pocket unless you are a kangaroo. Then I bet you need a cover to protect the screen so you can add more weight and bulk, add earphones, chargers and all the other stuff Apple will sell one expensive piece at a time. Pretty soon you will have an iDoorstop.
